I fired up my Torii this morning and heard a loud hum coming out of the right channel. I thought that it was strange since I always turn the volume off when I start up. I shut it down and restarted, damn, same hum. I then shut it down and started swapping one set of tubes side to side to figure out which one was bad. Well when I swapped the front EL34's the hum moved to the left side. Problem isolated.Oh well, almost 2 years of quite a bit of use isn't too bad.It looks like I am in the market for replacements.

I recommend Mullard Reissues from Jim McShane. I am sure Lon is buying his JJ's from a place that gets their better quality. However, JJ's are a dicey proposition, when buying from any Tom Dick or Harry.
